Do I have any chance of getting HIV?? I m very anxious, I'm 23, I can't attend classes in peace, at morning i wake up i feel feverish a week, ..if I hold anything for couple of minutes my hand joint pain a lot. I am reading online every single minute, I can't live normally, do I have any chance of getting Hiv? And what to do now... Please suggest me

Latex condoms, when used consistently and correctly, are highly effective in preventing the sexual transmission of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. In addition, consistent and correct use of latex condoms reduces the risk of other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including diseases transmitted by genital secretions, and to a lesser degree, genital ulcer diseases. Condom use may reduce the risk for genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and HPV-associated diseases, e.g., genital warts and cervical cancer.
Laboratory studies have demonstrated that latex condoms provide an essentially impermeable barrier to particles the size of STD pathogens.

I have never had such symptoms, it's been a week and I'm sick since then, yes I'm anxious but why such symptoms should appear now?

If the condom had failed you would have noticed!! Try to control your anxiety over a non risk intercourse.

Please don't go by the symptoms or by hypothetical questions. You would have noticed something if it took place. There's nothing to worry about. Protected sex is what the word says, protected !
